No, this is not the first time we have come to Ottawa.
Since 2002, I believe the families have met in Ottawa at least five times for lobbying campaigns. I myself am a resident of the Gatineau area. Mohamed Harkat was a resident of Vanier in Ottawa. Most of us have appeared before the Sub-committee on National Security that was examining Bill C-36, the Anti-Terrorism Act, and decided to look into the issue of security certificates as well.
